Chapter Seventy-Five: The Aftermath
After accepting Gehr's arrangement, Evan began to think about his future development path.
The exploit of "exterminating" the Sharktooth Pirate Regiment this time, coupled with his dual status as an "official knight" and a "sniper musketeer", should be enough to promote himself to the rank of colonel, meeting the minimum standard for being a captain.
At the same time, in addition to the armed forces, the command ability of warships should also begin to be strengthened with some emphasis, otherwise in the future, no matter how strong the armed forces are, they will not be able to become a qualified captain.
Reliving a life Ai Wen also has his own ambitions, he is not ready to stay by Geer's side for the rest of his life, always be a little grass under the big tree, and sooner or later he will have to go out on his own and break it himself.
Now that I have the opportunity to practice in advance, and Uncle Gehr is by my side, I don't have to worry about big problems, so why not?
"It's good to have a backer!" Evan didn't know how many times he had uttered this emotion, if it weren't for the captain being his uncle, how could this opportunity to independently command a pirate ship equivalent to a fifth-class ship fall on his head?
After arranging the next work, the two went their separate ways. Evan took Gary and some of the older seamen who had good ties on the Silver Wing to familiarize themselves with the ship on the Sharktooth, while Gehr went to work on the aftermath of the war.
As for Aven's communication through seabirds, this is clearly a method of witchcraft that has been exposed. Gell didn't ask any more questions, and Evan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it was by relying on this magical method that Evan was able to confirm the location of the pirate ship before engaging in the battle, avoiding direct surrounding, interfering with the two pirate cadres became the key to breaking the game, and finally playing a beautiful match with Gehr to finally kill Skuk.
All of this is due to the contribution of the seabirds, but Aven doesn't know Gehr's attitude towards wizards, and whether he will blame himself for taking the position of wizard without consulting him in advance.
In fact, Gehr hesitated a few times, because in his life experience, he had seen too many examples of daring to contact secrets and falling out of control, especially the legal profession represented by wizards, and he also had concerns about Evan in this regard.
But at the same time, he has long regarded Evan as a man who can take charge of himself, and cares about him while respecting Evan Evan more secrets. And he believes that under his watch, as long as he doesn't chase too much and explore the unknown, his safety is still guaranteed.
Later.
"Shoot! Salute!"
Bang, bang, bang, bang......
Twelve shots were fired, and all the surviving crew and officers mourned for the sailors and the two captains who died in battle.
Watching the waves gradually engulf their bodies, Evan realized that although the previous scuffle on the ship was not very long, it also caused nearly one-third of the direct attrition of the "Silver Wing", and more wounded.
Once again, he experienced the cruel side of the world. If you want to live longer and better, you must not stop here and live comfortably under the protection of Uncle Geer!
"This will never be my future!"
Later, after the surviving crew members went about their work, Gell approached Lieutenant General Snaith alone and handed him the confession that Evan had obtained.
"What is this?"
The lieutenant general unfolded Tru's intelligence, and his face instantly turned blue and white, as if his face had changed. First disbelief, then anger!
Starting from the "Black Wing Order" to Skuk in exchange, in addition to the detailed plan of action, even who the intelligence traffickers are, and who the other alternative targets are, Lieutenant General Snaith can't believe it at all.
In the end, his face returned to calm, but the hands holding the information were still trembling, and he had secretly made up his mind to make this fish on the chain pay a heavy price!
"Damn rats, keep me waiting!"
In the vicinity of Gabred, and even in most of the kingdom, no one can underestimate the energy of this Third Fleet logistics chief.
At the same time, after learning the truth about his attack, the lieutenant general did not forget to let Gehr convey his commendation order to the crew.
In addition to the highest official pension, Lieutenant General Snaith added ten gold lions in his own name to each of the war dead, and five gold lions to each surviving sailor to reward their bravery.
The sailors who were busy on and off the Silver Wing instantly cheered and praised the kindness of His Excellency the Vice Admiral.
......
Eight days later.
Three days later than expected, the group of three ships finally returned to Gabrid.
Although Aven's command is still a little young, after all, he has been interning on the Silver Wing for a long time, and there are no mistakes along the way. It's just that the non-stop voyage that was supposed to be in shifts was delayed because of the serious shortage of manpower after the war, and there were a few more breaks in between.
"But it's worth it. ”
During the eight-day voyage, the Evan system was involved in every step of the ship's journey.
From the most familiar sail cable operation to rudder maneuvering, from shipboard artillery maintenance to personnel management, this experience as an acting "captain" has allowed him to integrate what he has learned in the past into a complete set of warship management systems.
In just eight days, his command ability has been completely improved, laying a solid foundation for him to become a qualified captain in the future.
Three battleships docked.
The combination of one warship and two pirate ships instantly caused a sensation throughout the Gabrid Military Port, and the legendary experience of the "Silver Wing" also spread, and of course, the necessary artistic processing was also indispensable.
Under the great leadership of Vice Admiral Snaith and Captain Colonel Gehr, the officers and men of the "Silver Wing" united to wipe out the invading pirates and completely remove the notorious "Shark Tooth" pirate group from the sea!
This battle not only killed the criminal pirate "White Shark" Skuk and his three knight-rank pirate cadres, but also completely captured two pirate ships of the same class as the "Silver Wing", creating a brilliant victory!
This battle made them famous!
Ordinary residents were happy to see His Excellency the General sweep away the pirates with great might, and took care of Lieutenant General Snailter's face.
The military and knowledgeable people can also see who is the greatest meritorious person among them, and the actual benefits are not much at all, and the lieutenant general and the officers and men of the "Silver Wing" are very happy.
And Aven's identity as a sniper musketeer has not been revealed in the slightest, and it is not good for him to be too high-profile now. Even a big man like Lieutenant General Sneith has a madman like Scook who dares to touch a tiger's whiskers, let alone a small body like himself?
"People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong" is said at this time.
The biggest benefit of this trip has been eaten by him, and it is better to make a fortune in a muffled voice.
